Not many conservatives yet, with most Social indices between 11 and 16. I’m still looking forward to Niall and Steve posting results. A few naughty bloggers have been posting their scores in Jason Soon’s comments as well. Rob Schaap not far from his fellow Rob with an economic index of 5.

I don’t believe in any sort of God and I don’t really care if my readers do or not.

I don’t believe Jesus Christ ever rose from the dead and I’m not 100% convinced that he ever really existed at all.

I don’t believe I should be banned from drinking beer on Good Friday, because I like beer a lot more than I like chocolate eggs.

I don’t believe in biblical prophecies about the Jews returning to their homeland or any such thing.

I do believe that Israel has a right to exist.

I do believe that the Israel Defence Force has the right to defend the innocent citizens of Israel from the murderous pieces of shit who believe that Democracy, Freedom, Science and Capitalism are crimes against “God”. By any means necessary.

I believe a great many strident atheists let their distaste of anything religious cloud their view of Israel. It’s not about God. It’s about freedom.

Jew, Christian, Hindu, Agnostic, Atheist, Wiccan, Whatever: We are all Infidels in the eyes of fundamentalist Islam.

I believe I’m going to stick this picture on my blog and leave it there. You can too if you want.

JUDITH TORZILLO: Harry Potter goes forward emotionally a lot but also learns a lot about what happens and why he is who he is. Definitely I think it’s an amazing book and anyone should read it, everyone should read it.

KERRY O’BRIEN: I don’t know how Harry scrubs up at 15 but Judith Torzillo isn’t bad for 11.

In a market which already boasts a myriad of titles catering for minority interests, the Modern Drunkard has found a surprising niche. The motto of its 38-year-old editor, Frank Rich, is taken from the writer, Charles Bukowski: “When you were drunk, the world was still out there, but at least it didn’t have you by the throat.”

This is the consoling message that Mr Rich has decided to send from editorial offices, complete with bar, in downtown Denver, Colorado. Each month, readers can browse through a range of drink-related news stories, witty, intelligent reflections on the creative benefits of alcoholic excess, and uplifting celebrations of the lives of great drunks.

“A lot of the time, it is alcohol which helps us to function in difficult circumstances. Look at Churchill. He was more or less drinking all the way through the Second World War. If you took any list of the greatest politicians, writers and artists that the world has produced, you’d find it dominated by functioning alcoholics.”

A SWISS air traffic controller jokingly put an “al-Qaeda” label on a French helicopter that strayed into restricted air space during the Group of Eight summit, nearly leading to a shootdown by the French air force, officials confirmed today.

The unidentified controller put the tag on his radar screen during the June 1-3 meeting in Evian, France, on Lake Geneva, said Patrick Herr, spokesman for the air traffic firm Skyguide.

Herr confirmed a report on a Swiss German television news program that the French military picked up the label on its own radar and immediately scrambled Mirage fighter jets.

Only at the last moment, when they were ready to shoot down the intruder, did the Mirage pilots realise that it was a French transportation helicopter, officials said.

Somehow, I don’t think Fremantle footy fans are going to be as easy to convince as South Koreans. It’s hard enough getting some of us to wear shirts and shoes, let alone colour co-ordinated outfits:

Remember those great scenes from the 2002 World Cup soccer when South Korean fans dressed themselves in the national team colours and turned the stadium into a sea of red, creating a daunting scene to greet opposition teams.

The round 18 clash against Richmond at Subiaco is the day the Club wants its supporters to create a Subiaco Purple Haze. With the passion of Freo supporters well known, it is a day the Club wants to see the home crowd create a similar overwhelming scene to greet the Tigers as they run onto Subiaco Oval.
